Program the Internet of Things with Swift for iOS
Abstract
For the last few years, Apple has provided two core frameworks that have sped up the time to develop iOS health apps considerably: HealthKit and Core Motion. HealthKit provides a central repository for all apps to sync health data and Core Motion provides access to the iPhone’s accelerometer and pedometer, allowing you to retrieve limited health information about a user without external accessories.
